RAF (1942–1943) – Bristol Beaufighter IF No. 406 Squadron RCAF (1942) – Bristol Beaufighter IIF No. 410 Squadron RCAF (1942) – Bristol Beaufighter IIF No. 604 Squadron RAF (1943) – Bristol Beaufighter IF Postwar use The Aerodrome closed in 1945 and most of the concreted areas have been extensively quarried away for sand and gravel extraction. Most of what was the airfield is now under a lake or a quarry. There are a few military pre-fab buildings remaining in the area – they were dismantled after the war and moved to local farms to be used as agricultural buildings. The site does still have some remnants from the era, such as accommodation huts and brick-built pillboxes. Some of the newer roads in Scorton have been named after Second World War Aircraft (Beaufighter Close, Typhoon Close and Spitfire Court).
